Seated 1/28/25 Dr didn't have the right part to se ure it correctly apparently and it became extremely loose within a few days looks like irritation is happening around the gum Of course closed on the werkend. Feels like it's going to fall out. Any chance of loosing the implant over this rather than the crown just not being tight enough?

i’m scared as shit bro and it lowkey hurts but like barley just a little i got surgery on monday so it’s been 5 days

A few years ago I had a cavity filled on my top left molar, and this tooth has not let me know peace since then. Hurt to bite down, extreme temperature sensitivity, the works. The dentist shaved it down at least 3 times, but the pain never got better. Eventually it was so painful that I was getting severe headaches in my left temple and had to take ibuprofen round the clock just to keep it manageable.

Last August I had a root canal (the endodontist said there was no infection, just severe inflammation). The pain briefly lessoned, but now the pain and temperature sensitivity is back - to the point where just drinking water from the tap is cold enough to hurt. I know root canals are sometimes unsuccessful, but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on another root canal in case it doesn't work again. I'm so fed up with spending money to fix this tooth and still being in pain, I truly just want it out of my mouth for good so it can't bother me anymore. Are there any long-term negative effects this would cause? Would an endodontist/dentist be willing to do this for me?

I've been calling my dentist for two days now to get sent to a hotline and then never get called back. Hygienist or who ever suggested benzodine because of the numbing agent for my healing gums. Short story long 😅 I live in a small town and what my "big city" dentist office may see at those stores were at none of the four options listed. I could only find what's pictured. I have anxiety and being it is not what she suggested it's the only thing close I could find that didn't contain hydrogen peroxide. I'm now a week out from my full mouth extraction I do my rinses haven't had carbonated drinks or hot coffee; which i live off of and can't wait till I can; But I did pick vape back up about 2 days ago.

My question being, Can I safely use this on my gums without promoting dry socket or any major issues to my healing gums.

I used it once and it really did help but my anxious mind hasn't let me touch it since; and id really like to have the chance to cut back on the ibuprofen and tylenol regimen.

Sorry its so long 🥺

Just noticed this yesterday after putting my tongue there it felt like something may have popped out, not sure if the was that spot or the tooth before. I had my bf look at it yesterday and he said it looks like healing tissue, but when I told him take a look today he said it looks like there’s a hole there. Asked him a couple minutes ago and he said it now looks white again like the photo. There’s a wisdom tooth right below it that’s fully erupted so I’m not sure if that could be the issue. Anyone have an idea of what this could be?? I’m a bit worried because of the redness!

Think this is anything too crazy or just a cavity? I have been smoking for the past year or so with mid hygiene. Also eat candy a lot and was doing so when it broke. Also any advice moving foward

Hey all sorry if it's hard to read and if I might not make much sense (I'm a little slow) 28m non smoker or drinker (except coffee and tea) I had a pretty traumatic extraction after I broke a molar by chewing a cough drop too hard. But I'm on day 3 and I have been getting a bad taste off and on with bad breath. Bleeding finally stopped and I've been using the mouthwash that I was told to. I have very minimal pain just some discomfort. The extraction took an hour due to them having to cut the tooth into pieces and I didn't take the numbing shots well. I'm really scared and the office is closed. I read some foul taste and smell is normal but I'm really terrified I'm infected I have only been eating soft foods and I'm just so mentally overwhelmed I don't know what to do... any advice is greatly appreciated..

This has been here for almost 2 weeks and is pretty painful. Doesn't seem to be healing at all

I try to avoid it as best I can when brushing, limiting spicy/acidic foods, etc. I don't recall biting my cheek or anything (it's kinda high up on my cheek so not even sure I could have bitten it).

I don't smoke, rarely drink, and have no other medical conditions. I made the mistake of googling and am a bit worried 😟

So my upper left wisdom tooth for the last couple days has been trying to grow in again, it does it on and off every so often but it’s been catching on the back of my gums when I chew and is quite sore. Hurts to yawn and I have to chew very slowly to avoid jabbing myself with the corner of the tooth. The tooth is also painful if I press on it but it doesn’t seem to be bothering the molar next over. It’s partially grown in and seems to be straight looking, but I still worry about it becoming impacted and damaging the molar next to it before I can get to my dentist, since usually I can’t get in to see him for at least a couple weeks when I make appointments. Should I get it pulled out? And does it even look grown in enough to pull it out? I unfortunately really cannot afford a dental surgeon to cut it out. I’m gonna call my dentist on Monday and make an appointment but in the meantime does it look like it’s growing in mostly correct? And is it even pullable?

Sorry about the kinda unsightly looking molar lol. I asked my dentist about it because I thought it was a cavity but he said it’s an old silver filling I got when I was very young.

I got my premolar extracted yesterday and I ate sushi and pizza after 8 hours and I also ate a chipotle bowl today still haven't felt any pain that's the chances that I'll get a dry socket

A few years ago I had a deep filling on my second to last molar. It has been fine up until a couple weeks back where my tooth has started to ache and I have noticed a bad smell when I floss (only down once side of the tooth). I visited my dentist for a checkup and he said my teeth looked fine but I am wondering if he may have been unable to see if there is decay down the side of my tooth (inbetween teeth) as the pain is still present!

At this point i'm considering root canal or extraction, but I was wondering if there is decay down the side of my tooth if root canal treatment could still save my tooth?

is it possible to have my fillings (or atleast some) done while they take out my wisdoms ? i have three wisdoms that are all impacted and will likely require heavy sedation. i have severe anxiety aswell , and sometimes shots dont work.

if not , can i just request they extract the molars with cavities while im under the day they remove my wisdoms ? thanks... im super scared so... please help me out.

Hi, my mom got some dental work done and this dentist is in network but they billed her out of network. She was given a document stating the amount she owned after insurance before her procedure and she paid that before her procedures and I looked online at the insurance portal a few weeks later and the dentist was billed as out of network even though they are in network. And the dentist office now send my mom a bill triple the amount they said she owne? Really confused as what to do

A dentist recommended I get a crown on the 2nd to back molar, as it has a lot of fillings, and the problem area between my 2 molars gets food trapped causing gum irritation.

He said 2 options: try another filling, will probably fail or do a crown which will most likely work. Just curious on other opinions as there's a significant price difference but if the crown does indeed solve my issues I'll pay whatever it takes.

I’ve had some dental issues and just want to do everything I can for prevention. I’ve had a lot of issues with mineral depletion after pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Also wondering the best toothpaste for toddlers (2 years old and 3.5). I don’t want them to have fluorosis.

Helloo I had one of my bottom wisdom tooth removed on Thursday and it was impacted it was surgically removed.The tooth was near a nerve but luckily I didn't get nerve damage but my dc said I have high possibility for dry socket bc I smoke and I am waiting for my period.I haven't smoke since (only some hits through nose) and I follow my post-op instructions religiously bc I freaked out cause I had fever the first two days.Now it's day 3 I take my pain-killlers but I have pain aches and sometimes on my ear from time to time and an itcy feeling on my extraction.Do you think it could be the start of dry socket? Also my dc said I should wait at least 72 hours post op to smoke again and of course I am going to wait I use some nic patches and edibles after 72 hours can I smoke again with a gauge on? Would this be safer? Thank you I have health anxiety and serious addictions so it's not an easy time for me🥲

Hello guys, i have stopped vaping/smoking about a month ago and switched to nicotine pouches. After comparing my gums to pics online im fearing that im messing up my teeth further and causing even more damage from using pouches.

(Want to apologize for the yellowness in advance) just got braces on and the first night 2 wires came undone.. thankfully I was able to contact my orthodontist soon enough and get them fixed the next day.. she fixed one on the top and messed around with the one you can see unattatched on the bottom for a little bit then just ended up leaving it undone and said she was finished… I didn’t mention anything about it and instead just thanked her and walked out.. im just wondering are they still going to shift fine or should I contact her again..?
